Dark Energy in a Minute

Courtesy of Isabel A.:

his fascinating video by minutephysics goes into the basics of dark energy. It specifically unveils the complexity of the acceleration of the universe, a discovery that was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2011. The creators of this video are able to turn an extremely vast and unknown topic into something that anyone could understand. I thought that the idea of empty energy 'pushing' us away from distant galaxies was especially interesting.
